Just
a reminderthat Bartlett Tree Experts is now accepting applications/resumes for summer
internships at
Bartlett. The Bartlett Internship Program is a paid
internship which provides students with a broad range of training and
experience in the tree care industry through formal instruction,
on-the-job training and mentoring with over 80 locations
to choose from. Experiencing a Bartlett Internship better prepares the
student for a full time position post graduation.

Students may send their resume to me ndubak@bartlett.com
and let me know which Bartlett location they are interested in &
please have them indicate they are looking for a summer internship.
They may want to visit the site and view the locations at www.bartlett.com

If anyone has any questions or you have a student that needs assistance, please have them
reach out to me as I am happy to help any way I can.

Explorationsis a student-run journal guided by faculty and
administrators that selects and publishes student-authored articles of
of general interest in any area. Articles are submitted in a two-stage
process: first, proposals for articles are reviewed by faculty-student
teams; secondly, the resulting full-length articles undergo a second
round of peer review. Acceptance to the journal is competitive—less than
20% of submitted proposals are accepted. Creative pieces vetted by
faculty experts are also solicited, reviewed and chosen for publication.
Recently published articles have been from a wide range of academic
fields: music, creative poetry, forensics, cancer biology, astrophysics,
nanomedicine, computer algorithms, business, geosciences, sociology,
aerospace engineering, and cultural anthropology. The Explorations Board is currently assembling a collection of short, general interest articles of
scholarly content for publication in the Fall 2013 issue.

Submissions
are welcome from all disciplines and all undergraduate students
involved in research-based scholarly activity, including, but not
limited to, laboratory
research, education, engineering studies, and literary analysis. Team
submissions are welcome!

Note
that submission of a proposal indicates a commitment by the student to
author a full article if chosen. After reviewing all proposals, the Explorations
Board will issue invitations near the end of February to selected
students to submit full articles. The invitations will include
guidelines, procedures for formatting their article, and sample
articles. Full articles will be subjected to a second round
of review, and successful submissions will be published in the fifth
issue of the Explorations undergraduate journal in Fall 2013.

Kansas State University is now accepting applications for
the Summer 2013 Research Experience for Undergraduates program May 28, 2012 –
August 2, 2013. The application deadline is February 15, 2013.

We have openings in Agriculture Economics, Agronomy, Biological and
Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Grain Science and Industry, and
Sociology. The Kansas State University Center for Sustainable Energy
seeks applications for its summer 2013 REU program in sustainable bioenergy
funded by the National Science Foundation. Total value of this program is
$7,600.00 per student.

Eligibility:We accept students from all science,
agricultural, and engineering majors and class years. Applicants must be
American citizens or permanent residents. First-generation college students,
members of ethnic minority groups, females in STEM disciplines, and other
under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. No previous
laboratory or research experience is required.

Program Overview: The research you will receive in this
program under the guidance of faculty mentors will advance your state of
knowledge in sustainable energy. You will participate in “hands-on” experiences
with processing agricultural biomass, experiencing the physical environment of
industrial-scale biomass processing with all its limitations and opportunities.
Students will also meet people that actually perform the work to produce renewable
energy in the communities where they live.
